Head honcho at Bethesda, Todd Howard, has declared his admiration for the Nintendo Switch.

When speaking to Glixel, Howard talked about experiencing the console for himself at E3 this year. "I love it. I got to play it. I will tell you – well, maybe that's an N.D.A. thing," he told them. "One of the best demos I've ever seen. Probably the best demo I've ever seen. At E3."

Bethesda is one of the official partners of the device and a version of Skyrim was featured in Switch reveal trailer. Naturally, this has lead many to think that The Elder Scrolls 5 will be an official launch game for the platform. Insider information acquired by Eurogamer has since solidified these this suspicion, suggesting that both Skyrim and a new Mario title will be available on launch day.

"I think it's really smart what they're doing," Howard continued. "We're definitely going to be supporting it. It's the first time we've done something on Nintendo. If you don't count the old NES stuff. Home Alone. Or Where's Waldo?"

Bethesda has yet to confirm that Skyrim for Switch is in development, even when directly questioned on the topic. When asked if Skyrim could be played on a mobile device, Howard replied to Glixel that "it's the same game on the TV and on the other screen."

The teasing continues.

The Switch, which is due in March, is aiming for portability over power, but with Bethesda RPGs on board, it's setting its sights high. More news here when Bethesda chooses to confirm the inevitable.
